Data Migration

I am getting this error on a migration job.  I have refreshed the dictionary cache and that did not help.  I am currently on Apps 10 Update 16.

I’ve created an Excel migration job to modify values on a Sales Price List, but it seems that each time that I execute the job, a new record is created instead of updating the record that already exists. For this particular migration job, there will never be a requirement to insert new values, only update existing.   Any ideas what I am doing incorrectly? Environment: 23R1 SU 1 Source Mapping:Method List Attributes: 

Hi,We are looking into different options for migrating data from external systems into IFS Cloud. It is my understanding that the recommended approach is to use the Data Migration Manager component to import data into IFS Cloud via flat file.We are expecting to import a huge number of records into IFS and we are looking for an alternative to flat file import method due to performance impact. Are there any other options for migration? (e.g. external database connection) If not, are there plans on improving this feature in the near future?Any insights will help. Thanks!

Hi,I am trying to run a migration job to import a large number of test points and parameters on functional objects. I am experiencing two issues:1. Testpoints: for some reason I cannot migrate into the custom fields I have set up on Testpoints (EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_TEST_PNT). Any idea’s why the migration job will not let me migrate into my persistent custom fields?2. Parameters: When I run the second method of my migration job (EQUIP_OBJ_PARAM), it updates the Parameter for the Default testpoint not my newly created Testpoint. Anyone had a similar issue or has a solution? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,Harry

Hi,Does anyone have a migration job or script for mass uploading documents, images into IFS? Instead of having to do it one by one using “Upload Document” screen

Hi All,We are Migrating Employee Records using DMM. As per requirement we would need Person ID to be generated automatically if person id in legacy data is blank, in case if any person id provided in legacy record, then DMM shouldn’t generate the ID. We have enabled Auto Generation feature for Person ID column in PERSON_INFO target table. It is working fine where Person ID is blank in legacy records, but it do generate ID for records where Person ID is not blank. Any feature available to restrict generating the ID incase legacy record have any value passedThanks,Nishith 

Hello, We’re getting errors when trying to migrate the Procurement Clause Connection Rules in 22R2, using FNDMIG. We’re getting errors not wanting a value for Connection ID, but when left null, we’re getting an ORA:00936 missing expression error. Data inputs without error manually. Has anyone  come across or found a fix/work-around for this?  Any help is very much appreciated! 

Hi,I need my mig job to update null values against a custom field since we inserted the wrong values against it the first time around.I have put the default value as NULL against the custom field in the mig job but it isn’t updating it

The customer has lots of data in some tables - mostly quality assurance related, traceability - and keeps only last 3 months of data in the main tables.They have already setup archiving which works okay, except it started to get too slow mainly because it takes the rows in the head table one by one.As it does not put a big load on the storage we tried find some option to do it parallel, meaning several archiving jobs (orders) could run for these tables with different filters at the same time.But we found that the jobs are executed one after another:Is there a way to make them run parallel? 

Has anyone successfully used the SYNCDETAILS Rule in a Migration Job? I made the header fields in my file the same what shows in to “Column Name” in File Mapping but when I unpack the file I get Column “xxxx” does not exist.  I am using a csv with double quotes as the Column Embrace and would expect this to apply to the headings as well.

We’ve just deployed our first IFS Cloud environment and we’re struggling with some features… One of them is regarding Data Migration Jobs. Do you guys know which exact permission (projection) a user must have in order to be able to create new Data Migration Jobs? He’s already been granted Update Allowed permission in Authorized Users screen, but I believe that will work just for the existing jobs already granted for his account, right?Hope you can help me with this.

Hello,A repopulate can be accomplished by calling the DataSourcePopulate method on a window or a child table. Doing this on a form window will repopulate the window, and add newly created records and remove deleted records from the record selector. For table windows and child tables new records will be added and deleted records will be removed from the table.Forms can be refreshed by calling the DataSourceRefresh method. This will re-fetch only the record currently selected in the record selector, with its objid. DataSourceRefresh can be called on table windows but that will do a repopulate rather than a refresh.How do I use this in visual studio?

I’m trying to configure an Excel Migration Job to act on an API that accepts a single attribute, which is a string of keys. I wondered if anyone has had any experience in doing this or something similar.This is the string I get from debug (without the carriage returns) that uses the POSITION_UTIL_API.Modify_Pos method…              p0_ VARCHAR2(32000) :=              'STRUCT_ID'||chr(31)||'16'||chr(30)||              'POS_CODE'||chr(31)||'500042162'||chr(30)||              'VALID_FROM'||chr(31)||'2023-05-22-00.00.00'||chr(30)||              'VALID_TO'||chr(31)||'9999-12-31-00.00.00'||chr(30)||              'OLD_POS_CODE'||chr(31)||'500042318'||chr(30)||              'SUP_POS_CODE'||chr(31)||'500042319'||chr(30);I’ve tried many variations in Excel like replacing the || with & and double-quoting like “’STRUCT_ID’”.

Afternoon,Has anyone created a data migration which will import a file from a specified file location on a daily basis? If so, could you share how you did it?  Scope:This migration job will pickup a file from a specified location, import the file and then archive the file upon completion. This job will run on a daily basis at 11pmI can create the data migration job to import the file using the usual manual methods however, haven’t figured out how to automate the pickup from a location.We’re currently using IFS Apps 10 however, looking to go to cloud in the near future.API to be triggered; PROJECT_TRANSACTION_API Thanks!Ryan
